Oasis Academy, Hextable: Closure From: Patrick Leeson, Corporate Director of Education and Young People’s Services, Roger Gough, Cabinet Member for Education and Health Reform To: Education and Young People’s Services Cabinet Committee - 15th April 2015 Subject Oasis Academy, Hextable: Closure Non-Key Decision Classification: Unrestricted, Electoral Division: Swanley Division : Robert Brookbank Summary: This report sets out the circumstances of the decision by the Secretary of State for Education to approve the closure of Oasis Academy Hextable, and explains the consequences for Kent County Council, indicating the likely challenge of providing sufficient school places for pupils in Sevenoaks and Dartford districts. It describes the arrangements that will be put in place for pupils currently attending Hextable Academy. Recommendation(s): The Education and Young People’s Services Cabinet Committee is asked to consider and note: i) the action in relation to the closure of Oasis Academy Hextable; ii) the relocation of the Speech and Language Unit to the Leigh Academy; iii) the need to review pupil place planning for the secondary phase in the Hextable, Swanley and Dartford area; iv) and the need to determine the future of the Hextable site. 1. Introduction 1.1 Following the decision by the Secretary of State for Education, received on Friday 13th February 2015, to close Oasis Academy Hextable, this report is intended to brief the Education and Young People’s Services Cabinet Committee of the circumstances and consequences of the closure, and draw attention to likely future decisions that will need to be taken in relation to ensuring there are sufficient school places to meet anticipated need in Hextable, Swanley and Dartford. 1.2 The local Authority opposed the closure on the basis of on-going need for Secondary school places in the area. Our objections were considered by the DfE but the Secretary of State still approved the closure. Oasis Academy Hextable was only sponsored and managed by Oasis Community Learning Trust (OCL) for less than a year before a proposal was made to seek closure on the basis of falling pupil numbers attending the school. The Local Authority took the view that this was an unreasonable action to take in the light of the projected need for places in the near future. 2. Relevant history and Context 2.1. Oasis Academy Hextable is a non-selective Secondary school located in Hextable. As Hextable School it was judged to “require improvement” by Ofsted in June 2013, having previously been in special measures. The possibility of closing the school was considered and rejected by KCC on the basis that there was a medium and long term strategic need for school places in the area because of rising numbers already in Primary schools. An academy sponsor was sought by the DfE and Oasis Community Learning Trust was appointed to run the school by the Secretary of State for Education. The Trust had carried out its full due diligence before taking over the school, including an assessment of its pupil numbers and finances. 2.2 Hextable School became an academy within OCL multi-academy trust on 1st September 2013. Soon afterwards OCL became concerned about low and falling numbers on roll at the school and alerted Kent County Council and the Department for Education (DfE) of its concerns early in 2014. Following discussions with both DfE and KCC in December 2014, it made a formal request that its Funding Agreement to operate Oasis Academy Hextable be terminated on the grounds of the unviability of the school. Kent County Council opposed the proposal on the grounds that school number projections indicated that in the medium and long term, Secondary school places would be required in north and west Kent. After consideration, the DfE announced on 13th February 2015 that it accepted OCL’s request, although it acknowledged KCC’s strategic concerns about school place planning, and recognised that new provision would need to be commissioned. 2.3 Notwithstanding KCC’s concerns about the strategic implications of the removal of school places, officers have worked closely with OCL and the Academy Headteacher to plan the practical steps needed for the implementation of closure. The main focus of this work has been to coordinate the offer of alternative school places to current Hextable pupils. 2.4 Current Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils (x150) have all been offered places at alternative schools and academies in the local area. Their parents retain their right to express a preference for a place at any school, and these will be considered in accordance with each school’s admissions policy. The process has been managed well overall and it is the expectation that all pupils will transfer to their new school no later than September 2015. OCL has agreed to fund one set of uniform including sports kit for each young person transferring to an alternative school. 2.5 Current Year 11 pupils will have the opportunity to seek places in schools and colleges for their post 16 learning. Current Year 13 pupils will leave school at the end of this academic year and embark on work, further education or training. Current Year 10 and 12 pupils will complete their courses at Hextable through the 2015-16 school year. The school will finally close to all pupils at the end of summer term 2016. 2.6 On the termination of OCL’s funding agreement with the Secretary of State, the Hextable site will revert to KCC. 2.7 The decision to close Oasis Academy Hextable was not taken by KCC, therefore no alternative options were available. KCC continued to make the case for the retention of the academy, whilst also acknowledging its current difficulties in the short term. Options for providing sufficient school places in the medium and long term will be brought forward in line with further analysis of pupil number forecasts as part of KCC’s Education Commissioning Plan 3. Policy Framework 3.1 This report does not relate directly to a plan or strategy set out in the Council’s Policy Framework. The planning of school places across the county is made in the context of the Commissioning Plan for Education Provision in Kent which is revised and adopted every Autumn. The most recent revision relating to 2015- 2019 was considered by the Education and Young People’s Services Cabinet Committee on Wednesday 24th September 2014. 4. Financial Implications 4.1 Oasis Academy Hextable is an academy operating under a funding agreement between the Secretary of State for Education and OCL, which means its main revenue and capital budgets are provided by the Education Funding Agency (EFA). The costs of closure will fall to OCL. This includes the costs associated with transferring current pupils to alternative schools and maintaining the school for the 2015/16 school year. Redundancy and severance costs will fall to OCL. 4.2 Kent County Council is likely to incur ongoing costs related to the security and maintenance of the site when it is returned to the ownership of the Council. The return to Council ownership has been confirmed by the Regional School Commissioner for the South East. The extent and duration of these costs are currently unknown, and will depend on future decisions on the long term future of the site. Officers in Property and Infrastructure Services have been commissioned to undertake the necessary studies to quantify the associated costs. 4.3 Whilst the number on roll at Oasis Academy Hextable is currently low, it is known that demand for Secondary school places in the area will increase as the large year groups currently in Primary school reach secondary school age. There can be no doubt that new places will have to be commissioned within the next 2-3 years and this is likely to require significant investment either by KCC or the DfE. Growth will occur across Dartford as well as in north Sevenoaks. However, there are few sites suitable for commissioning new Secondary school provision, which means existing Secondary schools will need to be approached to consider the possibility of expansion. 4.4 The Speech and Language Unit within Oasis Academy Hextable is funded by the EFA and Kent County Council. The EFA funds a fixed number of places and KCC funds on a per pupil basis. The Unit will now transfer to Leigh Academy. The cost to KCC will therefore not be affected by the closure of Oasis Academy Hextable, and will continue to be driven by the number of pupils allocated to the Unit through statements of Special Educational Need, or Education, Health and Care plans. There should also be no additional cost to KCC in relation to relocating the SLU. 4.5 The cost of home to school transport should be no greater in the short term as a consequence of the closure of Oasis Academy Hextable. This is because the average distance to the alternative schools offered to displaced pupils is shorter than the average distance currently travelled by pupils to Hextable. In the longer term costs are likely to rise due to pupils being offered places further from their homes as pressure on the available places arises. It is not possible to quantify the possible additional travel costs at this stage. 5. Legal implications 5.1 The closure of Oasis Academy Hextable will require KCC to commission additional school places to meet its statutory duty to provide school places for all children requiring a place in the near future. However steps will be taken to secure additional places before this becomes a substantial risk. KCC owns the freehold of the Hextable site, which is leased to Oasis Community Learning. The lease will terminate on the termination of the academy funding agreement, with full ownership reverting to the County Council.

    Education Update Sevenoaks Scrutiny Committee Tuesday 24 th April 2018 Roger Gough, Cabinet Member for Children Young People and Education School Place Provision In Sevenoaks Education Commissioning Plan • The Kent Commissioning Plan for Education sets out the need for 2018-24 • Previous Plan forecasting accuracy was as follows: – Year R: Sevenoaks 2.9%, Kent overall -0.1% – Year 7: Sevenoaks 2.4%, Kent overall -0.1% Context • Going forward, any additional demand in Sevenoaks is now mainly predicated on inward migration. • Across the district, there is sufficient capacity for primary, for both Year R and for Total Roll. • Small pockets of higher demand, but partly driven by parental preference. • Secondary picture skewed by the lack of Grammar provision. • More than 40% of secondary aged students in the South of the district, travel to attend schools in Tonbridge or Tunbridge Wells. • Introduction of Weald Of Kent Grammar Annexe will help to alleviate this. Context • Likely further Secondary expansions will be required as there are only 3 Secondary provisions in Sevenoaks (plus the Grammar Annexe). • No Primary year groups under significant pressures on a district wide basis. Swanley/Hextable most likely to encounter pressures in the future, but this is not being realised as yet. • Even though Primary numbers dipped slightly in 2017, they now appear to have plateaued. • However, the growth in primary numbers in recent years is now starting to impact on the secondary demand.
